Yeah, I'm going there!

The Status Quo albums from Pile Driver to Blue For You are killer records, and at this point can all be found in the dollar bin.

Lately the more I listen to them, I hear a lot of similarities between them and the Flamin Groovies.

Aside from obviously looking much cooler than Status Quo (possiby the worst dress rock band in history),

I never understood why a group like the Groovies are considered Punk Forerunners while Status Quo are

considered a joke.

Listen to the following songs are tell me that these don't rival anything from the classic early 70's era Groovies. This is total Proto Punk.

It'll be about a month before stuff is played (I do a load of show up front) but you will be informed when you are going to be played.

 

Cheers

Thanks to the False Poets & the Banditos who have provided me with tunage, and looking forward to all the others who have some on the way.

New music is coming soon as well 

 

thanks!

The Flash (www.flash1512.co.uk) is a "classic" rock station on line, I've recently got a couple of shows on there, and I'm looking for bands to play, basically.

You can find me on facebook.com, or email me gershwingentile@gmail.com, drop me a link to a downloadable version of your tunes, and all that.

 

Open to both kinds of music (rhythm & blues) so let me know about your band!

 

Cheers!

I've NEVER heard that , Chris , but Tiny Tim was such a whackjob in his later years , who can say? Anyone who'd write a song called "Santa Claus Has Got THE AIDS this year" might"get it" with GG. SCREAMIN' JAY PROFESSED TO LIKING tInY tIM , TOO.....jOHN

I heard that GG Allin was a big fan of Tiny Tim, but is it true that he appeared on a GG Allin album as a narrator?

Danny ,I heard from Fred. He is expected to make a smooth recovery , but , we're looking at six months before he can get back to where he was. It would'nt surprise me at all if he makes London by next year , but , keep being patient, and think a good thought for him. There are VERY few men like Fred , and we just lost one with Gary Burger.     John.

Its a shame that this happened just as they were about to tour the UK.  I was excited to see them finally.  Heres hoping for a speedy recovery for Fred and I hope to see him back doing what he does best in London in 2015 :)

Hey sweeties and crazies,

Have you heard about these old stoooopid amateur shows of mine I'm reposting these days like groovy perverted colored Easter eggs in your face :

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that “Drive-By Buddy,” the first song on Underneath the Rainbow, the new album by The Black Lips, has a hint of country twang. After all, the Lips, garage-punks or “flower-punks” (their own label) that they are, covered Willie & Waylon’s “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” a few years ago.

No, this isn’t a country or “alt-country” album, by any means. In fact, on closer listen, the guitar riff of “Drive-By Buddy” sounds a lot like George Harrison playing “Honey Don’t” or other Carl Perkins songs in those early Beatles years. (I read another review that compared it with the guitar riff of The Monkees’ “Last Train to Clarksville.” That works, too.)

But the Southern roots of the Georgia-based Lips are much more apparent here than on previous efforts. When they sing “we’re hanging on a broken T-Bird hood” in the refrain, it sounds like good redneck fun — probably more than it would be in real life.

You can hear these roots in the bouncy “Justice After All,” with its Neil Young guitar hook, and you can even hear it in the jittery mutated early rock ’n’ roll sound of “Dorner Party,” which is about spree-killer rogue cop Christopher Dorner.

You can especially hear the South in the slow, menacing “Boys in the Wood,” a song Lynyrd Skynyrd might have done had Ronnie Van Zandt survived that plane crash. The lyrics tell of moonshine, mayhem, vehicle theft, and a harrowing backwoods world that’s part Deliverance and part Thunder Road.

 “His ghost lives in the trailer/It was his foster home/Pall Malls and an inhaler/His girl’s nagging on the phone/The pain his body’s feeling/Will leave you accident prone/Cause the car he was stealing/Drove to the unknown.”

Another cool thing: The Black Lips’ official video, full of violence, sex, and debauchery, is actually worthy of the song. Check it out below.

While this is not a concept album by any means, there does seem to be a common thread running through several tunes — jail and running from the police. “Waiting,” for instance, has a verse about getting paranoid about cops while driving on the interstate. “Smiling” deals directly with a night singer Jared Swilley spent in the slammer. If somebody ever makes a punk-rock version of The Dukes of Hazzard, they’ll have to get The Black Lips to do the soundtrack.

Some say that Underneath the Rainbow is the most polished Black Lips album to date. Actually, I think some people said the same thing about their previous album, the Mark Ronson-produced Arabia Mountain.

Truth is, you can detect some not-so-subtle touches by Patrick Carney, the drummer of The Black Keys, who produced most of the tracks here. For example, the electro bass sound on “Dandelion Dust,” a hard-edged boogie, is right out of The Black Keys playbook. Other tunes were produced by Tom Brenneck, the guitarist for Sharon Jones’ Dap-Kings and the New York Afrobeat group The Budos Band.

“Polished” is a relative thing. For the most part, The Black Lips, except for a few moments when they get sucked in too far into the Black Keys dimension, retain the slop, fury, and dumb jokes that made me love them in the first place.

They prove this with the scary-sounding “Do the Vibrate,” complete with wolf howls and an almost metallic “Rock Lobster” guitar riff. Beneath the threatening atmospherics, the song is actually about an alternative use for cellphones.

Also recommended:

* Buy Before You Die byFigures of Light. As an old rocker myself, it’s always enjoyable to see a band that faded away decades ago get a second breath and start rocking again. That’s definitely the story of Figures of Light, a pre-punk group that never came anywhere close to achieving the fame of The Stooges or The Velvet Underground, but they were right there in New York City in the early’ 70s, smashing TV sets onstage and cranking out raw, screeching, feedback-filled guitar rampage with sardonic, angsty lyrics.

The Figures hung up their rock ’n’ roll shoes before the end of the Me Decade. But they rose again in 2008, when they were rediscovered and reconstituted by Norton Records. Singer Wheeler Winston Dixon and guitarist Michael Downey made a couple of fine albums with Norton (Smash Hits and Drop Dead), keeping their basic rough-edged sound, but apparently that only whetted their appetites.

In the past year or so they’ve self-released several EPs of new material, including one of my favorite FOL follies, a “country” song (though actally they don't even sound as "country" as The Black Lips) called “Too Many Bills, Not Enough Thrills” as well as a compilation called Lost and Found, which included rarities, remixes, and even a screaming death-metal cover of their first “smash hit,” “It’s Lame,” by a band called Belladonna & The Decimators.

But Buy Before You Die is definitely the best thing Dixon and Downey have done since Drop Dead. It’s only seven songs long, but every one of them is a doozy.

All the selections are sandwiched between songs lampooning mindless consumerism: the title song (”You’re buying this, you’re buying that/You’re getting stupid, dumb, and fat.”) and “A Word from Our Sponsor,” a phony ad in which the band plays a Velvet-like musical backdrop as Dixon shills for some unspecified surreal, horrible-sounding food product (ingredients include rabid squirrel meat, dehydrated cow’s head, old coffee filters, toothpaste, and insect repellent).

Maybe that’s how the narrator of “Swollen Colon Lament,” another song here, ended up with his condition.

While the above-mentioned songs feature the basic up-tempo minimalist guitar rock the Figures do so well — as does the rockabilly-influenced “Pauline” — some of tracks here are, well, pretty. “Killers From Space” has breezy, jazzy chords. “The Winter of Our Discontent” is slow minor-key number with a spooky tremolo guitar. And “Streets of Rain” is a minor-key dirge with strong bass and lyrics about hopelessness.

I hope Dixon and Downey keep at it, because they’re only getting more interesting. .

Enjoy some videos

This performance on Letterman is bananas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRs5G5j0SEs&list=LLrqfoPzNIvucBNY_cx4grYw

It doesn't often surprise me when there's kids who are technically proficient on instruments, afterall they have smaller, more nimble fingers and don't have jobs and responsibilities taking up all their time - but this performace is beyond that.  Love the skronky solos especially.

I recently discovered Old Grey Mule. Not new not garage, but blues with a wild punk attitude. The best live show I saw last year was these guys playing with Chris Russell's Chicken Walk.

Blog post on Scott Asheton here:  http://revrock.blogspot.ca/2014/03/the-stooges-drummer-scott-asheton-1949.html

I heard some recent material by The Primitives, which is great. Especially their version of Turn Off The Moon, which is so adorable that I want to take that song home and mother it. They did quite a few garage covers, such as Little Black Egg and I Wanna Be Your Dog, which suited Tracy Tracy's vocal style.

I once heard that a lot of indie discos played 60's beat groups, garage and early punk alongside Stuff like The Flatmates, The Smiths, The Creation, MC5, The Primitives, McCarthy. Is this true?

He was so bad, he was good.

I'm a huge fan! The Termites, The Ethiopians.

Radio What Wave Playlist, March 27/2014

 

1. The Spitfires....I Don't Care....from the Not Yer Buddy's Compilation Volume 3, on the Not Yer Buddy's label out of Vancouver.

 

2. Hanson Brothers...Blitzkrieg Hops...from the Gross Misconduct CD from 1992. Hanson Brothers are in town at CTO tonite. And this is a song about making your own beer, something i've been doing for many years. Check out Brewhaven here in London, where you can make your own beer or get supplied to make it at home. Been going there for around 10 years.

 

3. The Viletones....Possibilities....from A Taste Of Honey CD on OPM Records. Coupla London connections in this one as former CHRW DJ Simon Less (best DJ name ever as he would get kicked off for profanity in songs) worked his aural magic on the re-mixing (along with Chris Spedding...you know, the guy who produced some of The Sex Pistols recordings). This is on Jan Haust's OPM label in 1994.

 

4. The Forgotten Rebels....American In Me....from the Nobody's Hero's CD from 2000, also on OPM Records. And that's our dose of 70's Canpunk for this week's show!

 

5. Dustbin Flowers....Bayside Jenny....from their recent CD.

 

6. Dustbin Flowers....She Smiles....as above. Local combo that i haven't caught live yet....but really want to!

 

7. Mere Humans....Temple....recent demo from this Ottawa trio.

15. The Ballantynes....Sickos...from the Liquor Store, Gun Store, Pawn Shop Church EP on La Ti Da Records. Just got this one and it's some great modern soul from Vancouver.

 

16. The Reply....I Must Stop....from the Downtown Soul CD. This is a great live combo who tend to play Northern Ontario and do quite well.

 

17. The Flamin' Groovies....Shake Some Action....from the LP of the same name. This is a song that Psycho Daisies usually play for me and they are playing at the St Regis on Saturday night, here in sleepy London.  And there's a kickstarter campaign to help finance a documentary on the Flamin' Grooves!!

 

18. Fireball Grant....York Hotel....recorded live on Radio What Wave 10/31/14. Great one man band from Watford Ontario, a little siding on the CNR mainline between here and Sarnia Ontario.

20. Fred and Toody....Johnny's Got A Gun....recorded live on WFMU Distort on 12/10/13. Fred had heart surgery just recently and we wish him well!

 

21. Neo Boys...Poor Man's Jungle...from the brand new double LP Sooner Or Later. This is recordings done by Portland's Neo Boys between 1978 and 1980 and was released on K Records. This song in particular, sounds a lot like The Zellots, who are from the same era.

 

22. Neo Boys...Abnormal Chick...as above, but a much earlier, rawer track.

 

23. The Connexions...Ridin' On The Streetcar....from the Connect 4 CD. Newfoundland garage/power pop combo who are on the garagepunk hideout.

 

24. Dave Campbell... The Time Is Now....from the Finding The Real CD.  Local artist whose CD you can pick up at Grooves, it's at the front of the store and it's free!!

 

25. Drug Dealerz....Mayor Ford....timely demo.

The theme for the next volume in the "acclaimed" Hideout Comp Series is UNHINGED ROCK'N'ROLL. That means I'm specifically looking for songs that are either fucked up and crazy/noisy and otherwise "unhinged" in nature, or they feature lyrics that deal with psychotics, derangement, weirdness, crime/murder, the macabre, mayhem, drugs, or otherwise batshit-crazy conspiracies and it's-the-end-of-the-world-everyone-go-fuckin'-nuts kinda stuff. Think Cheater Slicks, Hasil Adkins, Country Teasers, The Fall, Roky Erickson, Jay Reatard, Lost Sounds, Scratch Acid, The Hunches, Monks, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cramps, Chrome Cranks, etc. The more primitive, the better.

I'm looking for cover art submissions from you artists, illustrators, doodlers and photographers as well. The cover art concept must also match up with the theme for this volume (see above).

If you don't already have a song in your arsenal that deals with these subjects, then A) what the hell is wrong with you?, and B) well, you'd better get busy writin' & recordin'!!

Deadline for submissions for this volume is June 1, although I may push that pack another month IF I don't have enough good submissions to choose from.

ORIGINALS ONLY—NO COVERS!! You want to show the world your great songwriting skills, not how well you can play someone else's song. Got it? Good.
